Leadership and Management of Change in Health Informatics

Successfully integrating health informatics into a healthcare setting requires knowledge and skills in health management. Students engage in both theoretical and applied activities to gain a practical understanding of organizational behaviour, IT procurement and health economics. Specific topics include: motivation and leadership, decision-making, power and control, conflict, management of change, requirements scoping, requests for proposal, contracts, service level agreements, population-based health economics, health consumerism and designing performance indicators for health informatics. Through projects, students develop change management plans to maximize success when implementing health informatics in the workplace.
